Good Morning Thursday 11th July 2024

Good morning all from a cloudy North Leicestershire.

I am meeting a couple of friends for lunch in a local pub that has just opened a deli on the premises. DH has a volunteer drive.

Our gardener is coming at some stage - the garden is in dire need of her attention.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning from a sunny Cornwall, hopefully not too warm as the day progresses. I got as far as a little café down the hill yesterday and enjoyed a pot of tea and a chocolate brownie, and was tired when I got back. Walking the Pilgrim's Way (across Cornwall) deferred till next week then. 🤣

This morning my youngest son is collecting a load of prescriptions for me and we can talk football when he comes. Late afternoon my other son is bringing my granddaughter over for fish and chips. We're missing each other desperately. The photo of us isn't recent but it brings back memories.

Good morning from Malta where it is very hot and we have got a power cut so no fan or a/c. Glad I’m going out with DD3 soon!

Apparently the boys had cried all morning yesterday. When one stopped the other started. It breaks my heart. I’m old fashioned and don’t think they should be bundled off to strangers when they are so little. I kept my own four at home until I had to send them and they have all turned out fine.

Roses best of luck at the hospital. I’m sorry to say I laughed out loud at you wanting to stab the kayak with a knife!😂. I’d feel the same.

Wishing a good day to you all.☀️

Good morning from s somerset, it promises to be a lovely sunny day

I was very busy yesterday but it was very satisfying. I had a little relaxing time, via youtube, watching a lovely older countryman teaching horses to drive carts in rubber bits on main roads and lanes. My go-to viewing right now

Sweep is coming today, I like to get the essentials done early also a very heavy parcel is being picked up today. All the way to Scotland

I picked some blueberries an hour ago and it is starting to feel autumnal. No other plans for today, except to mix a batch of muesli and blanch some lovely potatoes now that the ice cubes are frozen.

Have a good day

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 12° and dull. RosesandLilac is there a reason the kayak has to be inflated indoors? Bellasnana I'm sure the boys will settle. It might take a while though. Scapa I didn't know Dobbies did treacle scones! A wee visit to Stirling is required.
Yesterday was a quiet day as I suspected. With the mayhem of road resurfacing, I wasn't going out. I pottered about the house and the garden for a while because the forecast rain didn't arrive.
Today I'm meeting an ex colleague friend for breakfast. She's just recovered from her third bout of covid, so it's still very much around. I'll have to leave early as the direct route is impassable because of the road works. It might sound like a moan, but I'm really glad that the council are fixing the roads here. We have many potholes to the detriment of tyres. Tonight is definitely a salad night. Have a good day all.

Good morning all from very dull South Lanarkshire.

I’ve an appointment with the dental hygienist this morning, a new one as my hygienist has just gone on maternity leave. I do hope he’s just as considerate of my dislike of the procedure.

Safe travels to those on the move today. Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Oh and I wore a striped jumper yesterday. 🤣🤣

Good morning all from a dull and windy start to the day here on the east coast of Fife.
My gardener has removed most of the weeds (thistles and sticky willies included) from my back garden in preparation for my family BBQ, fingers crossed for a good dry day

Thinking of you all ❤️❤️

Good morning from a bright Bristol; long may it last!
Bon voyage to oldd. The twins may have realised that playgroup/school was their first day of, for them, endless education…. I hope MD is feeling a bit better.
My busy day yesterday exhausted me, and I fell asleep in front of the tv not long after I got home in the mid afternoon.
To day, I plan on going to town to get some more fabric. The jersey top I made from the online course is lovely, so I may make one today for DD as well. And a dress for myself using the came pattern.
Dinner at DD and staying on to be with the girls while their parents are at various meetings.
Perhaps today will bring some warmth and cheer - my little plants are bringing much colour and pleasure to the complex.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from a calm and sunny Torbay.

We tried to make a day trip to St. Austell by bus and train yesterday but abandoned that plan due to traffic chaos in Torquay delaying us on the first leg and went to Teignmouth instead, so we made something of DH’s last day in the UK as he travels home today.

Belated anniversary greetings to the Gingsters.
Get well wishes to Taichinan.
Happy holidays to Georgesgran and to harrigran: it sounds like an idyllic setting where you are.
I expect the twins were tired after nursery, Bellasnana and hope they'll settle into it.
I hope Mizuna coped on her first outing.
Good news, Marydoll.

Enjoy whatever you do! 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning Mick, it’s dry here too in south Glos.
Annoyingly I have been awake for hours, no idea why 🙄. I have an echocardiogram appointment at lunchtime so a trek into town today. I will probably drive to the outskirts and go in by bus; parking at the hospital is horrendous and expensive.
I might go early and have a wander around the shops, I’ve only been there once since lockdown, I prefer to shop online.
Yesterday my new cushions for my Ercol settee arrived, I am absolutely delighted, the company in Bristol has done a brilliant job.
DH says he needs to inflate his blasted kayak in the living room again today - I am so sorely tempted to stab it with a carving knife…….🤬
Anyway, at least it should be dry today so I will change the bed and get the washing out on the line before I go and do some gardening when I get back.
Have a lovely day 🌹

Good morning Mick cloudy here as well, but dry, I can’t go out and see how warm or cold it is as the dog is asleep, once I wake her up she will want to go out and it’s a bit early for me.

Not much planned today, take MzOops to the bus to go and catch her train, then a shopping delivery later.

MissOops has fetched more clothes so she is obviously planning to be here for a while.

House was good but a few cracks that need to be investigated before we go any further with the purchase.

Have a good day everyone, I’ll try to get back and catch up with all your news later.
